Somtimes Half Can be Bad...

There was a TV commercial to that effect several years ago. I don't remember what they were selling, only that the words returned to my head the minute I heard my daughter ask, "Can I keep her?", as she picked up a tattered, fluttering mess from the road.

Oh yes. Half can be bad. Especially when you are a butterfly. From what we can surmise, she was hit by a car, half her wings remained in tatters on the gravel of the unpaved road. After a steady diet of sugar water administered by qtip she managed to hang on for several days.

Sorry people but this stuff is mine. I don't mind you reading it and learning from it or even reproducing it in your own garden. BUT... you may not reproduce and sell the text and images on this blog nor may you use the designs discussed within for profit. I wouldn't steal your stuff and sell it and so I don't expect you to do that to me!
